- Advise on CPG/FMCG data ecosystems, including syndicated data, POS data, panel data, market performance data, and third-party commercial datasets.
- Guide clients on the acquisition, harmonization, governance, and delivery of data from providers such as NIQ, IQVIA, IRI/Circana, retailer POS, and other market measurement sources.
- Bridge business and technology teams to ensure data foundation decisions support commercial outcomes such as revenue growth management, market performance, media ROI, trade effectiveness, sales analytics, and category growth.
- Advise on modern data foundation principles, including data governance, standardization, metadata, lineage, quality, interoperability, semantic layers, data products, and reuse.
- Support the design of scalable data operating models, including ownership, stewardship, governance forums, decision rights, and adoption mechanisms.
- Bring awareness of latest technology approaches, including cloud data platforms, AI-enabled automation, data quality automation, ingestion automation, and modern data architecture patterns.
